Blind Tasting Podcast
You're gonna get honest (and sometimes irreverent) reviews, news, and opinions on whiskey and the industry.
Will I dwell on the minutia? Sure, sometimes. Will I use sarcasm to get my point across? Yep. Either way you can bet you'll learn something and have something to say about it and that is exactly what Blind Tasting Podcast is all about. Bourbon, Whiskey, and Attitude! Enjoy!

Evan Williams Black vs Old Forester 86: Budget Bourbon Battle Plus New Releases From Willett, Castle & Key and Blade & Bow
Today’s episode is packed with news, flavor notes, and a budget bourbon showdown you didn’t know you needed.
First, we dive into the latest releases from Blade & Bow, Willett, and Castle & Key, including a 30-year Blade & Bow monster, Willett’s new Family Estate Small Batch Bourbon, and Castle & Key’s wheated and rum-finished experiments. Some of it sounds incredible, some of it sounds…like the marketing team lost a bet, but it’s all worth talking about.
Then it’s time for the main event: a head-to-head tasting of Evan Williams Black Label and Old Forester 86 Proof. Same proof, similar specs, totally different personalities. Which one brings more flavor, more value, and more reasons to keep it on your shelf? I break down color, nose, palate, finish, and which pour punches above its price.
